Very interesting thread. In the spirit of the Indianapolis correction above and in the interest of strict accuracy, the Graf Spee was not really a battleship. Although it was popularly referred to by the Allies as a "pocket battleship", it would actually be more correctly characterized as an armored cruiser/battle cruiser than a true battleship, which is in keeping with its German designation of "Panzerschiff" (essentially, "armored ship").
